Jung’s Collected Works are being revised by scholars, making new insights into his writing and thought available to the English-speaking world.
This week eminent Jungian scholar Sonu Shamdasani speaks with Lisa about the production of a brand new Critical Edition of the Works of C.G. Jung.This ambitious, multi-year undertaking will result in 26 volumes of material, all newly translated by Caitlin Stephens. The project will breathe new life into Jung’s writings, offering an English translation that is both more accurate and more accessible.
Lisa and Sonu also discuss the fascinating story of Jung’s original translator, R.F.C. Hull, who took a freewheeling, literary approach to the translation of the Collected Works, and in the process obscured some key Jungian concepts. They highlight areas of Jungian thought where we can anticipate fresh insight, including foundational concepts like individuation and the self.
